Computers/Electronics – Sometimes Accepted and Sometimes Not
Computers and electronics are not accepted at all regional household hazardous waste collection events. Before bringing computers/electronics to a household hazardous waste collection, residents should check with the sponsoring municipalities and/or HRRA to confirm what will be accepted at a specific collection event.
As a general rule, household hazardous waste collection events in Bridgewater and New Milford accept computers and electronics, and the collections scheduled in Danbury and Newtown do not.
